Is there another name than ‘tortilla’ for the Mexican flatbread?
I’m wondering if a proper alternative word exists because it gets so confusing, since ‘tortilla’ also means ‘potato-based omelette’, especially in Spain and most Spanish-speaking countries.

Nope. Tortilla is tortilla. Corn or flour, it's tortilla.

Don't know of another word. But if you're using the word in the U.S., almost no one would think of the egg-type-tortilla. And I'd bet that outside of Spain and perhaps surrounding countries, the first assumption would be corn (or wheat) flatbread too.
Fajitas :)
